Effective over quoted spread (E/Q)
E/Q is the industry measurement for trade quality: the lower the percentage, the better.Â
This calculation compares an execution price to the quote. The quoted spread refers to the difference between the bid and ask prices. The effective spread is calculated by comparing the execution price to the midpoint of the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO).
Vanguard Brokerage Services works with several trading partners to execute orders placed with us. We follow “best execution” practices so that you can get the best price for your order to buy or sell.
Here's how it works: When you place a brokerage order with us, your order makes a round trip—from you to the market and back to you. We route your order to one of our market centers, and we strive to get you the "best execution" price in a timely fashion by following these practices:
Market center reviews.
We rigorously review market centers for their system availability, service quality, and financial and regulatory standing.
Execution quality.
We evaluate the quality of how the market centers execute in one or more market segments. We consider various factors such as price improvement and overall effective price compared with the NBBO.
Price improvement.
When possible, orders are executed at a better price than the prevailing NBBO—better than the best bid for sell orders and better than the best offer for buy orders.
